prevention agenda for the Nation. 

Healthy People 2010 identify the most 

significant preventable threats to health 

and establishes national goals for the 

next ten years. Individuals, groups, and 

organizations are encouraged to 

integrate Healthy People 2010 into 

current programs, special events, 

publications, and meetings. Businesses 

can use the framework, for example, to 

guide worksite health promotion 

activities as well as community-based 

initiatives. Schools, colleges, and civic 

and faith-based organizations can 

undertake activities to further the health 

of all members of their community. 

Health care providers can encourage 

their patients to pursue healthier 

lifestyles and to participate in 

community-based programs. By 

selecting from among the national 

objectives, individuals and 

organizations can build an agenda for 

community health improvement and 

can monitor results over time. More 

information on the Healthy People 2010 

objectives may be found on the Healthy 

People 2010 web site: http://

Proposed Project 

Quarantine Station Illness Response 

Forms—Airline, Maritime, Land/Border 

Crossing (0920–07AT)—New—National 

Center for Preparedness, Detection, and 

Control of Infectious Diseases 

(NCPDCID) (proposed), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC is proposing to collect patientlevel clinical, epidemiologic, and 

demographic data from ill travelers and 

their possible contacts in order to fulfill 

its regulatory responsibility to prevent 

the importation of communicable 

diseases from foreign countries (42 CFR 

Part 71) and interstate control of 

communicable diseases in humans (42 

CFR Part 70). 

Section 361 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264) 

authorizes the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services to make and enforce 

regulations necessary to prevent the 

introduction, transmission or spread of 

communicable diseases from foreign 

countries into the United States. The 

regulations that implement this law, 42 

CFR Parts 70 and 71, authorize 

quarantine officers and other personnel 

to inspect and undertake necessary 

control measures with respect to 

conveyances (e.g., airplanes, cruise 

ships, trucks, etc.), persons, and 

shipments of animals and etiologic 

agents in order to protect the public 

health. The regulations also require 

conveyances to immediately report an 

‘‘ill person’’ or any death on board to 

the Quarantine Station prior to arrival in 

the United States. An ‘‘ill person’’ is 

defined in statute by: 

—Fever (≥100 °F or 38 °C) persisting ≥48 

hours 

—Fever (≥100 °F or 38 °C) AND rash, 

glandular swelling, or jaundice 

—Diarrhea (≥3 stools in 24 hours or 

greater than normal amount) 

The SARS situation and concern 

about pandemic influenza and other 

communicable diseases have prompted 

CDC Quarantine Stations to recommend 

that all illnesses be reported prior to 

arrival. 

CDC Quarantine Stations are currently 

located at 20 international U.S. Ports of 

Entry. When a suspected illness is 

reported to the Quarantine Station, 

officers promptly respond to this report 

by meeting the incoming conveyance 

(when possible), collecting information 

and evaluating the patient(s), and 

determining whether an ill person can 

safely be admitted into the U.S. If 

Quarantine Station staff are unable to 

meet the conveyance, the crew or 

medical staff of the conveyance are 

trained to complete the required 

documentation and forward it (using a 

secure system) to the Quarantine Station 

for review and follow-up. 

To perform these tasks in a 

streamlined manner and ensure that all 

relevant information is collected in the 

most efficient and timely manner 

possible, Quarantine Stations use a 

number of forms—the Airline Screening 

and Illness Response Form, the Ship 

Illness/Death Reporting Form, and the 

Land/Border Crossing Form—to collect 

data on passengers with suspected 

illness and other travelers/crew who 

may have been exposed to an illness. 

These forms are also used to respond to 

a report of a death aboard a conveyance. 

The purpose of all three forms is the 

same: To collect information that helps 

quarantine officials detect and respond 

to potential public health 

communicable disease threats. All three 

forms collect the following categories of 

information: demographics and mode of 

transportation, clinical and medical 

history, and any other relevant facts 

(e.g., travel history, traveling 

companions, etc.). As part of this 

documentation, quarantine public 

health officers look for specific signs 

and symptoms common to the nine 

quarantinable diseases (Pandemic 

influenza; SARS; Cholera; Plague; 

Diphtheria; Infectious Tuberculosis; 


cprice-sewell on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
18262 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 69 / Wednesday, April 11, 2007 / Notices 

Smallpox; Yellow fever; and Viral 

Hemorrhagic Fevers), as well as most 

communicable diseases in general. 

These signs and symptoms include 

fever, difficulty breathing, shortness of 

breath, cough, diarrhea, jaundice, or 

signs of a neurologic infection. The 

forms also collect data specific to the 

traveler’s conveyance. 

These data are used by Quarantine 

Stations to make decisions about a 

passenger’s suspected illness as well as 

its communicability. This in turn 

enables Quarantine Station staff to assist 

conveyances in the public health 

management of passengers and crew. 

The estimated total burden on the 

public, included in the chart below, can 

vary a great deal depending on the 

severity of the illness being reported, 

the number of contacts, the number of 

follow-up inquiries required, and who is 

recording the information (e.g., 

Quarantine Station staff versus the 

conveyance medical authority). In all 

cases, Quarantine Stations have 

implemented practices and procedures 

that balance the health and safety of the 

American public against the public’s 

desire for minimal interference with 

their travel and trade. Whenever 

possible, Quarantine Station staff obtain 

information from other documentation 

(e.g., manifest order, other airline 

documents) to reduce the amount of the 

public burden. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time to complete the survey.

Proposed Project 

Academic Centers of Excellence on 

Youth Violence Prevention Program 

Information System—New—National 

Center for Injury Prevention and Control 

(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Eight Academic Centers of Excellence 

on Youth Violence Prevention (ACEs) 

and two Urban Partnerships—Academic 

Centers of Excellence on Youth 

Violence Prevention (U–PACEs) are 

currently funded through CDC to foster 

and promote a stable, visible, long term 

strategy to address the complex problem 

of youth violence. The centers work 

with community members and many 

educational, justice and social work 

partners to develop action plans, 

partnerships, and priorities to prevent 

youth violence in a local community. 

In addition, one ACE Coordinating 

Center is funded to initiate, foster, and 

support coordinated efforts, including 

the development and dissemination of 

activities and products in youth 

violence research and practice, among 

the ACEs, UPACEs, and CDC. It also 

aims to facilitate increased collaboration 

among organizations working to prevent 

youth violence to support the 

sustainability of youth violence 

prevention programs. 

The Academic Centers of Excellence 

on Youth Violence Prevention Program 

Information System will collect, in 

electronic format: (a) Data needed to 

measure progress toward, or 

achievement of, performance indicators 

and other outcomes and (b) information 

on Academic Centers of Excellence on 

Youth Violence Prevention that is 

currently being collected in various 

electronic and paper documents. 

An Internet-based information system 

will allow CDC to monitor, and report 

on, ACE activities more efficiently. Data 

reported to CDC through the ACE 

information system will be used by CDC 

to identify training and technical 

assistance needs, monitor compliance 

with cooperative agreement 

requirements, evaluate the progress 

made in achieving center-specific goals, 

and obtain information needed to 

respond to Congressional and other 

inquiries regarding program activities 

and effectiveness. 

There are no costs to respondents 

except their time to enter data into the 

Information System.
